What did I do today?

I feel as if I got nothing done today so I think I'll blog out loud to see if that feels better:

1. I saw my dear husband off on his day.

2. Grabbed a quick shower.

3. Read some e-mail and blogs.

4. Spent some time preparing for our one

and only Craft Show this

Season. We are loving just filling

orders and taking custom jobs! This

show should be fun, though.

5. Took the dogs out and ran into Mom

and her dog on their morning

walk. Found out that Mom is still

in pain from a fall she took recently

in her back yard and so will

be seeing the Doctor today.

6. Did my hair and face...

at this point I am actually coming alive.

7. Put a huge load of towels into the washer.

8. Put a load of laundry away.

9. Rallied the troops for school.

10. Gave first assignments and grabbed

a bowl of cereal for myself.

11. Sat with Chelsea for math

...she is insecure in this subject

but actually

did very well.

12. Corrected Mikey's math work.

He had a good day here too.

13. Offered spelling words in the form of

sentence dictation. I know my

kids are probably too old for this but

when they start to spell like they

are too old for it I'll quit! lol

14. Grabbed Jonathan for out loud

reading together from Airborn.

15. On to History...we spent a long

time on History today. We are

studying Early Egypt. We began with

Diana Waring's take on the

geological proofs pointing to timelines

and evidence of the Hebrew

Slaves in Egypt.

Then moved into an

oversized Library book on

Historical Excavations...

not written specifically from a Biblical

perspective, but dovetailed well

with the information we gleaned from

Diana Waring. Finally,

The Mystery of History text to tie it all

together.

16. Time for Mikey's lunch so he can go to work.

17. Took Mikey to work.

18. Came home and picked up items for errands...

I just ran out of time

before taking Mikey.

19. Stopped at Mom's to show her fabric

and pattern for a new skirt for

Chelsea. They will make it together.

It is beautiful. Found out she

made that appointment for the

doctor and would be going this

afternoon.

20. Went to Auto Parts store to pick

up Wiper Blade Motor - to replace

the one that left me sitting by the road for

1.5 hours...not that anyone

was counting.

21. Went to put gas in the car

...lunch hopped in the car

...somehow!

A

Ciabata sandwich! It came with a

"free" Snickers and a Coke. A kid

got the Coke

but not the Snickers.

22. Came home - checked blogs and e-mails.

Sent an e-mail to a dear

friend who has a lot happening in her life right now.

23. Took the dogs out again.

24. Talked to another friend on the

phone for a half hour. We don't talk

often. She and I shared ideas

for getting the Dads involved with the

children in daily life or

just relationship building ways.

For

example: Warren takes one of our

children to breakfast each Sunday

Morning for one on one time.

I love it and they do too!

25. Time to pick up Mikey.

Got a Mum for Mom while I was there. We

have important company coming in tomorrow,

(my Grandma,

Aunt ,Uncle and Cousin), and we must

make sure our homes are

ready. She has just the

perfect spot for a mum, I guess.

26. Read and processed the mail...really!

Does it seem to you that each

home almost needs a secretary to deal

with the paperwork that

floods in daily?

27. Spent time readying the kitchen,

living room and bathroom for the

evening's activities of Youth Group

at our house. We will be off at

church practicing music for

Sunday while the Youth Leaders and

teens are here.

28. Began setting the picnic table...

we will be enjoying our meal

outdoors this evening.

29. Speaking of our evening meal...gotta run...

I've already thought of some things I

forgot..so I guess it wasn't a total loss of a day.
